Winchester started using the letter G in the year 1970 for the model 70 bolt action rifle.
Winchester started using the G prefix to the serial number in January 1969.
I posted a hotlink under the "related links" heading below.It's a database where you can submit the model and serial numbers and look up the date of manufacture.
Probably at midnight, December 31, 1968, when they were required by the Gun Control Act of 1968.
You should be able to contact Winchester and see if you may find the year of production by serial number thru there archives.If not I do have the manufacture dates of the first 250,000 made.You will need to have your serial number available to research the date of manufacture.
In the year 1978, Winchester began building model '94 rifles using serial number 4565926.During that year,96,285 model 94's were produced.Serial 4580182 seems to fall into that time slot.
A specialized serial number lookup is a service that helps identify and track specific products using their unique serial numbers.
Fender started using serial numbers in the early 1950s. Pre-serial guitars are extremely rare. Later model guitars that have no serial may have had the neck replaced.
Serial Box is a database containing serial numbers for software as well as hack/crack information. The serials themselves are often 'shared' by a single purchaser who has submitted their serial to Serial Box's authors (although the legality of this in relation to a software vendors SLA is questionable). Using Serial Box in no way ensures that you are clear of copyright infringement issues. Using someone else's serial number from serial box means that any networked computer is liable to deauthorize in the event that a program with the same serial number is also connected. That being said, it's best to use programs that are authorized with serial box serial numbers offline only.
Not possible. There is more than one gun with the same serial number, some guns were made with NO serial numbers, and data does not exist to translate SN to make/model.
It was made in the last year of production- 1925. A few were assembled in later years using left over parts.
If it has a serial number, by using the serial number. However, before 1968, no law required rifles and shotguns to HAVE a serial number, and many less expensive guns, such as .22 rifles, did not have a SN. If there is none, we can only go by the range of years that model was made.
You can determine the age. Often you can find the configuration of the gun by ordering a letter for its serial number from the Winchester Museum ($55), but it is cheaper and easier to determine this by looking at the gun. And one of the most important factors affecting the value of a gun or any other used object is the condition. The serial number does not tell you if it is in like new condition or broken and rusty. You can, however, detrermine the age by going to the following site and entering the serial number. http://armscollectors.com/sn/winlookup.php
